SPRING-BED.

SPECIFICATION fQrming part of Letters Patent No. 251,946, dated January 3, 1882.

Application filed September 28, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, AMBROSE B. RAMEY, of Oantril, in the county of Van Buren and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Spring-Beds, of which the following is a specification, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings.

The invention relates to an improvement in beds; and it consists in a novel construction and arrangement of the parts of the bed, whereby the same may be given the desirable qualities of strength, durability, cheapness, and spring, with the consumption of a minimum quantity of material and labor.

The details of construction will fully appear hereinafter.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a central vertical longitudinal section of the bed. Fig. 2 is a central transverse section, and Fig. 3 is a top view, of same.

AB indicate the head and footboa-rds, which are of usual construction and connected by the sides 0, in which are formed the recesses a b,

.d extend the whole length of the bed, and their September, 1881.

points corresponding with the position of the slats D. Upon the under surt'aceof the slats e are supplied the helical springs f, which are preferably affixed to the slats e and have their lower ends resting upon the slats D.

It will be observed that although I employ only two rows of springs and but four slats I produce a bed-bottom which at all points has the necessary spring, and is light, strong, and durable. V

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- The spring-bed herein described, consisting of the head and foot boards connected by the sides (3, having recesses a b, the latter being at the extreme ends of the bed and elevated above the former, the slats D, set in the recesses a, the ends E, placed in the recesses b and connected by the wires d, and the slats e, carrying the springs f, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing improvement in spring beds as above described I have hereunto set my hand this 1st day of AMBROSE B. RAMEY.
